And the way I remember the reason 1 24 remember it is because it was just - Jay was just 25 telling me all these different things that just didn t Page 128 Page 130 I Q. Why is that? 1 make any sense, like they were going to the video store, 2 A. Just an odd night 2 or they were coming from the video store, something 3 Q. Why don t you tell the ladies and gentlemen 3 They were being picked up by somebody And 4 what happened, beginning from ihe point where you got 4 when I tried to clarify, he just got more conf using, so I 5 home from work that day? 5 just let it rest. I was like, okay, well whatever 6 A. Okay I had been in a conference all day, 6 Q. What was the defendant doing? 7 through my internship in the City, and 1 came home, and 7 A. Just like, slumped over 8 my then boyfriend was already there, and Jay and his 8 Q.

Between 14 5:30 and 6:00, somewhere around there Q Okay What happened next? 16 A They came in. And Jeff was already sitting down watching TV, and 1 sat down in ihe chair, kind of 18 l acing the TV. Jay came in and sat on my rtghi-hand 19 side. There's a table and some chairs there. He sat 20 there And his friend, like, laid - sat on the floor 21 There was a bunch of pillows on the lloor next to my couch He kind of laid, like, half-sat, half, like 23 slumped over. 24 Q. Did you know that person? 25 A. No. And they didn't introduce me, 1 1 little bit, through Jen He usually came with Jen, hut, 12 you know, there- 1 think there had been a couple of 13 occasions where he came just to- by himself Q. Did there come a time when the defendant said 15 anything to you? A. Uh-huh. Well, not directly to me, kind of like 17 to everybody in the room. We were just watching TV, It 18 was really uncomfortable Like, nobody was talking, and 19 all of a sudden, he just like, popped up and was like, 20 "How do you get nd of a high," or "How do I get rid of a 21 high," something along those lines And I was like, "I don't know. I think you 23 just have to wait." 24 Q. What did you understand that to mean when he 25 said that? Page Page 130

3 1 A Like I'm not sure. 2 Q What did that mean to you, "How can you get rid 3 of a high"? What did that mean to you? 4 A I assume that he was high. 5 Q. Did he respond after you said what you told 6 him? Condenselt! Page 131 Page he was or what was going on. And she said, "Oh, well, 2 I'm supposed to meet up with Jay later, so, you know, 3 I'll find out and I'll tell you later." 4 Q Did she seem to know what was going on? 5 A. Uh-uh. She didn t -- when I described who was 6 at the apartment with Jay, she had no idea who, like, who 7 8 I was describing. Q. What happened at that point? 9 A Then I think I went back in the room, and 1 10 can't remember whether Jeff got on the phone with Jen, or 11 we hung up and maybe she called back later, I m not sure 12 But we were I remember sitting in the chair, and we 13 were just of, you know, again watching rv because nohody 7 A 1 think he said something along ihe lines about 8 something important to do, "I have to go somewhere." I 9 can t really remember exactly what he said, but the gist 10 of it was he had somewhere to be and he couldn't he high, 11 he couldn't be messed up. He had to be straight. 12 Q. Now, a moment ago, you stated he was talking to 13 everyone in the room. 14 A Right. -ÿ 14 was talking, and he just got up and just like 15 Q. Who else was there? 15 Q Ms. Vinson, I'm going to ask you to wait a 16 A Jay and my-ex -- my boyfriend Jeff 16 moment for the siren to pass 17 Q. What time frame would you say this was? 17 A Okay. 18 A They stayed between like, 6:00, (Pause.) 19 Q And why do you remember that' 19 BY MS MURPHY: 20 A. Judge Judy was on. I like watching that show, 20 Q. Thank you. 21 so - it s on between 6:00 and 6:30 21 A. Okay. The defendant just like, like jumped up Q. And that s the normal tune that show would be and ran out of the apartment. 23 on? 23 Q. Did he say anything at that point? 24 A. Uh-huh. 24 A. No. He just jumped up and ran out. 1 remember 25 Q. Okay What else happened- 25 looking at Jay, and being like, "What is wrong with him Page A. He got a phone call from his cell phone, and 2 nobody in the room was talking It was just the TV was 3 just on, so you could hear what he was saying. He was 4 saying, like, "What am 1 going to do? They're going to 5 come talk to me. What do I" -- 1 mean, I can't remember 6 exactly. This is just like, the gist of what he was 7 saying. "What am 1 going to tell them' What should 1 8 say?" Somewhere around that -- those lines 9 Q. Now, when you say he got a phone call, who are 10 you referring to? 1 1 A The defendant. Tin not sure how to say his 12 name. 13 Q. Did you see the cell phone? 14 A Uh-huh. 1 5 Q. Where was it? 16 A. His jacket pocket. I think on the inside. 17 Q. Did you hear anything else in that 18 conversation? 19 A. Uh-uh. 20 Q. What happened next? 21 A. I think that my friend Jen called the house, and I got up and 1 answered it in the back, back room 23 And I was really try to see, like, what was going on. 24 They were acting really strange. 25 And 1 was talking to Jen to see if she knew who Page 1 3t 1 Like, is he okay?" 2 Q. And what did Jay do? 3 A. Jay just kind of sat there and didn't say 4 anything, and then maybe a minute later, Jay was like, 5 "Hang on a second," and Jay got up and followed him 6 outside, or out of my apartment. 7 Q Did they ever come back? 8 A. At that time, no. This is why I think Jeff was 9 on the phone with Jen when I was in the other room, 10 because I remember saying, you know. "They just left," i l and then I remember walking over to the window and 12 looking out. I saw a car parked out there with their 13 lights on. 14 And the way my apartment is set up, is when you 15 look down, you can see the whole area. You cun see the 16 porch and the walkway. 17 I didn't see them standing anywhere out there, 18 so I assume that they were in the car, and Jeff was on 19 the phone with Jen. And then the car just like started, 20 like, pulling off, like, driving. 21 I said, "Oh, my gosh, they're leaving," and I remember Jeff repeating that to Jen, "Oh, they're 23 leaving." 24 But I knew that Jay had to come back, because 25 his hat and cigarettes were there, at my apartment, and - Page Page 134

4 Condcnselt! 3 Page 135 Page 137 I - but Jay and Adnan never came back. 1 THE COURT Consistent in time, Ms. Murphy? 2 Q. Did you get a look at the car? 2 MS.

Right. 16 Q So you knew her through about December of 1998; 17 is that correct? 18 A 1 probably knew her a couple months before 19 that, but we didn't start really becoming friends until 20 around then; that's correct. 21 Q. Okay. So around December of 1998 is when you would date the beginning of your real friendship with 23 Jennifer Pusateri? 24 A. That's correct. 25 Q.

That's correct. 24 Q. The first time, Ms. Vinson, that you were asked 25 to recollect that date, the date being the 13th of Page Page 142

6 Page 143 i January, 1999, was on the 9th of March, was it not? 2 A Okay. That sounds right. 3 Q. Okay. And on the 9th of March, you were right a down the street from here at Police Headquarters 5 building, were you not? 6 A. That s correct. 7 Q. And you had been asked to be there. In fact, 8 were you brought there by Detective MacGilhvary? 9 A. I met him there. 10 Q. You met him there. At his request; right? 1 1 A. That's correct. 12 Q. You weren't just dropping in as a friend; 13 correct? 14 A. That's correct. 15 Q You were asked you be there officially; were 16 you not? 17 A That's correct. 18 Q And you knew what it was about on the 9th of 19 March; did you not? 20 A Yes. 21 Q. And you were asked about the same subject matter you just shared with us as a result of being 23 questioned by the State's attorney, w'crc you not? 24 A. That's correct. 25 Q- Now today, you said that you got home between and six o'clock; do you remember that? 2 A Yes. 3 Q Isn't that what you just said? 4 A. Yes. 5 Q Now, back then, did you work at the group home? 6 A No, 1 did not 7 Q. You worked somewhere else, did you not1 8 A. That's correct. 9 Q. Okay And today, you told us your recollection 10 was that you got home between 5:30 and 6 00 p.m.; is that correct? A. That s correct. 13 Q Okay And do you remember telling Detective 1 4 MacGillivary that you got home from work that day? This 1 5 is during your conversation with him concerning the same 16 subject matter, that took place on the 9th of March, at East Fayette Street, Police Headquarters, that you 18 got home between 4:30 and five o'clock? I9 MS MURPHY Your Honor, I'm going to object to 20 the form of the question It's THE COURT: Overruled. MS. MURPHY: -- very confusing. BY MS. GUTIERREZ Q. Do you remember that, ma am? A. That could be, yes. Condcnselt! ' Page Q. Okay So by saying it could be, meaning do you 2 recall telling Detective MacGillivary that? 3 A. Yes. 4 Q. Okay. And so back then, on the 9th of March, 5 when you were asked what time you got home on the 1 3th of 6 January, then you told him that you got home between 4:30 7 and five o'clock? 8 A. Yes. 9 Q Okay. So you told Detective MacGillivary 10 something very different than you just told the ladies 11 and gentlemen of the jury; is that correct? 12 A Well, it has been a year since that date. 13 Q. So, would you agree with me, Ms Vinson, when 14 you first talked to Detective MacGillivary on the 9th of 15 March, that you were attempting to be as thorough as 16 possible, and accurate as possible, in the information 1 7 you were giving him? 1 8 A That's correct. 19 Q. And would you agree with me that your 20 recollection of events that you were asked about, which 21 are alleged to have occurred on the 13th of January, were fresher in your mind back on the 9th of February than 23 they are today? 24 A That's correct. 25 Q Okay So if you got home between 4:30 and Page 144 Page 146 I 5:00, do you remember telling Detective MacGillivary how 2 long the two gentleman, the one you knew and the one who 3 was never introduced to you, stayed in your house that 4 day? 5 A. 1 think between 30 and - I might have said 45 6 minutes. 7 Q. So somewhere less than 45 minutes; is that 8 correct? 9 A. That's correct. 10 Q. And do you remember telling Detective 1 1 MacGillivary that the visitors arrived sometime between 12 5:15 and six o'clock? 13 A. I don't remember saying that. 14 Q. Okay. Well, if Detective MacGillivary 15 transcribed it as 5:15 and six o'clock, would you have 16 any reason to disbelieve him? 17 A. No. 18 Q. You were attempting to tell Detective 19 MacGillivary the truth; were you not? 20 A That's correct. 21 Q. And you believed that Detective MacGillivary knew that he was taking notes and taping your statement; 23 did you not? 24 A. That's correct. 25 Q. Yes. And so you would have no reason to Page Page 146

7 Condenselt! '' Page 147 Page 149 I distrust his taping and how he taped what you told him? 1 introduce his friend that he was bringing into your house 2 A. That's correct. 3 Q. So if you told him between 5:15 and six 4 o'clock, that's likely to be more accurate than what you 5 told us today, isn't.it? 6 A. I'm not sure. 7 Q. There was nothing you're not sure that your 8 recollection of events back on the 9th of March was more 9 likely to be accurate than your recollection of events 10 today, 11 months later? tl A I remember it being six o'clock. That's alii 12 can say. Tin not sure why I would have told him 5:15. I 13 could have been mixed up. Right now, 1 do remember it 14 being six o'clock 15 Q. Okay. But back then, on again answering it, 16 Detective MacGtllivary, MacGillivary taped between 5:15 17 and 6: MS MURPHY: Objection. 19 BY MS GUTIERREZ: 20 Q. p m., would you have any reason to distrust 21 his recording of what you said? MS. MURPHY Objection. 23 THE COURT: Overruled Q You can answer? 2 to you; would you not? 3 A. Yes. 4 Q. But he did not? 5 A No. 6 Q Correct9 And nobody ever introduced him to 7 you, did they? 8 A. No. 9 Q At some point later, you found out his name, 10 did you not9 II A That s correct 12 Q You didn't remember when and where and from 13 whom you found out his name, do you9 14 A. Yes, 1 do 15 Q Well, back on February -- on March the 9lh, 16 when you spoke to MacGillivary, Detective MacGillivary, 17 you didn't know how you knew his name, did you? 18 A That's possible 19 Q Okay. And if that's how Detective MacGilliv ary 20 recorded your conversation, again, you'd hav e no reason 21 to distrust his recordation of your conversation with him? 23 A. That's correct. 24 Q. And you weren t trying to conceal information 25 from Detective MacGillivary, were you9 Page 148 Page!5o l A No, 1 would not any reason to distrust him. l A.
